Good question. I like to think all exercise involves the mind and body. In Pilates there is a conscious effort to think or involve the mind while performing each movement. i.e. thinking about the muscles the exercises is engaging; the sequence of firing of the muscles to perform the given movement; involving the mind when applying the basic principles of Pilates.
